The court found on balance that an obvious unevenness in paving existed near the steps and that the defendant failed to ensure the pavement was evenly laid and to take reasonable steps (warning bands or railings) to guard against a foreseeable risk; those breaches caused the plaintiff's fall and injuries; the plaintiff was not contributorily negligent; damages were assessed accordingly.
